Administrative Committees

Communications (Simon)

Bruno reported the launch of a video campaign late last year to promote the usage of open source tools for development and cloud and reports this has been very successful with many people following the videos. They are not internationalized. but he reported really enjoying producing them and suggests it may be a good idea for the future for other open source related content.

OSI sent a Happy New Year card.

The new wiki is going well with continued work on clean and compatible urls (in line with previous DokuWiki environment) needed.
